Wait, what?

Heard of this on CBS This Morning and thought I'd share it.

James Ryan's 2016 Commencement Speech

If you want to cut to the chase, listen to the last 7 minutes or so. Or either visit this link. His book is available here.

And here's the poem he mentions at the end:

Late Fragment

And did you get what
you wanted from this life, even so?
I did.
And what did you want?
To call myself beloved, to feel myself
beloved on the earth.

May we each feel beloved on this earth every single day.
